Milwaukee Sets Tight Security for GOP Convention with Limited Protest Zones

Plans include a hard perimeter, designated protest areas, and allowance for guns outside the inner security zone.

The Secret Service will enforce a 'hard' security perimeter around the convention site, restricting access to credentialed attendees only.
Protesters will be relegated to two designated areas outside the inner security perimeter, sparking legal challenges from the ACLU.
Wisconsin's open-carry laws will allow guns within the outer security perimeter but not inside the 'hard' zone.
Local law enforcement has coordinated with multiple agencies to ensure safety while accommodating First Amendment rights.
The convention, set to take place from July 15 to 18, has prompted extensive planning and debate over security and protest logistics.
